What's happening internationally?

Abstract

The University of Uppsala, with the financial support of the Swedish International Co-operation Agency (SIDA), last year trained 26 health care professionals in the field of nutrition from 17 African countries on ‘Use of information technology (IT) in nutrition training’. As a way of sharing the benefits of and skills acquired from this training with other professionals on the Continent and advancing the idea of IT use into the 21st century, these health care professionals are planning to hold the ITANA 2002 conference in collaboration with Uppsala University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. The Applied Nutrition Programme of Nairobi University, Kenyatta University and Egerton University has been mandated to organise the conference under the auspices of ITANA2002.org.
